Expedite or Impede?

Today’s Feast

Feb. 25, 2016 1 Kings 20

Expedite or Impede?


Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We will spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years.

37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”  Matthew 22:37-39, English Standard Version (ESV)


Dear Saints,

Thank you for joining us, as we prayerfully continue our Feast in 1 Kings Chapter 20; “Benhadad besieges Samaria. (1-11) Benhadad's defeat. (12-21) The Syrians again defeated. (22-30) Ahab makes peace with Benhadad. (31-43)” - Matthew Henry Concise.

Today we prayerfully read, 1 Kings 20. Benhadad greedily besieges Samaria and sets his army against Ahab. Ahab believes God and attacks and defeats Benhadad. The Syrians are ignorant of the one true God and are again defeated. Ahab makes peace with Benhadad, not heeding God’s instruction to smite him. “41 Then he hurried to take the bandage away from his eyes, and the king of Israel recognized him as one of the prophets. 42 And he said to him, “Thus says the Lord, ‘Because you have let go out of your hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore your life shall be for his life, and your people for his people.'” 43 And the king of Israel went to his house vexed and sullen and came to Samaria.1 Kings 20:41-43, ESV. Do we serve our fellow men or God? If you neglect to tell someone about the gifts of God, you are helping to condemn them to hell. Sometimes you may be directed by God to ignore someone’s salvation. Never neglect to tell them about Jesus because you don’t want to offend a person, in doing so you are offending our God. “20 If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. 21 And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.1 John 4:20-21, ESV. It is far better to offend your brother or sister than to condone sin. If we overlook sin, we are paving the path to hell. Jesus told us that he is the way the truth and the life. No one can reach God except thru Jesus. This is why we need to keep the first thing first. That is salvation through the blood of our Lord Jesus. It is far better to offend a person than to expedite a soul away from God, to eternal punishment. Ask yourself what better serves God expediting or impeding godlessness? Don’t send mixed messages where salvation is concerned. If the lord is willing I will post and send the Feast again tomorrow.

Don’t get caught up in “religion”, it is about a relationship. Our salvation depends completely on God! We are the Saints that Jesus sacrificed his life to pay in full for our sin, when we repent and accept Jesus. He will come to get every Saint; “36 “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.Matthew 24:36, ESV. We are building our relationship with Jesus right now; do not wait while you try to change anything.  Click this link for more information; admenu.com/calling.htm .
